Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?



Well, it appears that Joe Montana Football is a game -- of some sorts.

Joe Montana tweeted the above screenshot
out to the internet, which appears to be an in-game screenshot of a football game long rumored to be in the works. It also appears to dispel the 'NFL game in the works' rumors that were floating around the last week. The screenshot shows Joe Montana (or someone with his name and number as his skin color looks much darker than Montana's) rolling out with players blocking and stumbling around.

The teams are both generic, and the stadium itself looks generic as well, although that much isn't fully clear. The screenshot features the Unreal Engine logo, and appears to be quite detailed -- but there's no signs of whether this game is for consoles, mobile platforms, or PC. Although just one screenshot, it definitely isn't a huge leap over what is already on the market sports games wise just at first glance, so it's really impossible to tell if this is even a console title, although it'd be a very impressive looking mobile/tablet title if that is the case.

The player models themselves look like a cross between Backbreaker and the old 2K titles, with the tall and slender bodies vs. more realistic proportions. But hey, it's way too early to be breaking these things down.

As mentioned by jyoung...

No sports games have come out yet on UE 4. Action Arcade Wrestling 3 is using it, but that game's still in development.

UE 3 was used in several sports games:
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD (terrible)
  • WWE All Stars (pretty good)
  • Black College Football: The Xperience (subpar)
  • Kinect Big League Sports (never played it)
  • Real Boxing (never played it)
  • Lucha Libre: Heroes del Ring (never played it)
  • Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars (never played it)
What do you see in the screenshot? Any clues as to what Joe Montana football is going to be at this point?

Goodness. Musical chairs.

Anyway, really excited for the game. Although there's a few things in the shot that worry me, I won't worry too much off of one screenshot.

Out curiosity, what are those things?

So it does seem non-NFL indeed. Though this doesn't close the chance that they simply have a "create a team" mode and chose using custom teams in the screenshot to keep NFL announcement for later time, does it?

The guy stumbling reminds me of Backbreaker when guys would foolishly trip over a guys foot by just barely grazing it. Not saying it doesn't happen in real life or that this is the case with this game, but it just looked really silly. Of course, "Butt Fumble" can shoot all those concerns down

Secondly, the uniforms for both teams are the same design. If they were the same design and the design was minimal (maybe a few stripes on the sleeves and that's it), I might not be as worried. However, this makes me think this is probably the only design for uniforms in the game.

Again, too early to worry too much about that stuff, but just some things that jumped out at me.

Re: Joe Montana Football 16: First In-Game Screenshot?

Looks like an APF Clone. Better than Backbreaker, but a clone of APF. If it has a career/dynasty/franchise mode, im interested.

Provided this is a console game.
